Pioneerguy, your surname must surely be Hoover given the degree to which you suck.

It just never ends, more n more saws keep coming my way from all over. I had 3 saws shipped to me from a man 3000 miles away, I never met him. He heard through the grapevine that I collected and restored Pioneer saws, he only had a short while to live, was diagnosed with brain cancer. He wanted me to have them if I would give them a good home, he wouldn`t take a cent and shipped them to me for free. That`s part of the reason I rebuild chainsaws and give them to those that need them but can`t afford to buy a decent saw.

Yea, that's a "YOU SUCK".

A few months back I got a 372 for $80, it was mint. The service tag said "warranty, loose screws"

The recoil screws were loose, and one was cracked off. I turned that one out with a vice grips and put a new one back in.

I haven't had any other loose screws while running it.

Jerry, wow you definitely suck. The ms440 I'm picking up doesn't compare to the scores you have had this year so far. I was gonna post up the 034 you traded me for parts I had. I'll wait till I take a nice picture of it outside in the sunshine.

Everyone seems to be getting some good deals so far tho. Keep the pics coming. Awesome thread!

That`s exactly how this game goes, the longer you are at or around it the more saws that come your way, many will be cheap and some will be free, a lot of them will need work.

I'm stopping my madness at this 440 I'm getting. I'm hoping a sweet husqy 254 or 257 stumbles into my hands someday.

the 440 has an air leak somewhere. Needs a top end. I have a good OEM straight finned cylinder and 12mm piston I'll be putting on it. Hoping it's an easy air leak to fix. Buying for $100. Not a smoking deal. But he sold me a 044 for $30. So I wanna throw the old fella a bone
